DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Bath re-enamelling in Crosby without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Crosby questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Crosby

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DN15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
